What difference does Jesus' return make to today?

The New Testament teaches that Jesus’ return should have an impact on our life, attitude and perspective today. So the question is: what difference should it actually make?

Rather than discussing ‘end times’ theories, dates and events, this booklet is about the concrete fact that Jesus is “coming soon” (Revelation 22:12). This time He will not come as a helpless baby, but as the righteous and good Judge of the world.

Explore the Bible’s wisdom and direction about how we can live with readiness, eagerness, hope and purpose as we wait for Him.

This resource includes:

• a clear summary of what Scripture teaches about Jesus’ return
• reflection on judgement, resurrection and the Christian hope
• practical teaching on living with an eternal perspective
• encouragement for holiness, perseverance and evangelism
• passages to help you think about Christ’s return without becoming absorbed in speculation
